Chapter 180 A Little Bit
The careless mother from the stall wanted to put Xiao Yangzhi in solitary confinement as soon as she saw her disobedient.
In the middle of the process, they reorganized their family and got an unreliable stepfather, which made little Yangzhi autistic and friendless since childhood. It was good enough that she knew what to do during her menstrual period.
Last year, when little Yangzhi had just turned fifteen, Xu Mingyuan could see that she knew very little about the world outside her home.
This family was in a mess three or four years ago. At that time, little Yangzhi was still very young and no one told her what to do, so Xu Mingyuan had to take on the task of educating her.
But Xu Mingyuan had nothing else to teach except some vague principles of how to behave. The most he could do was to make little Yangzhi less closed-minded than before.
Moreover, on weekdays, Xiao Yangzhi was like a little maid and seemed to take care of him more.
It just so happened that Tao Shuxin was a girl who grew up in a normal family, so he asked her to help him see the small details that he usually didn't notice.
"Xiao Zhizhi, please stay at home for a while. Your brother and I will go buy something for you."
"..."
Yang Zhi didn't say anything. She twisted her face and looked at Xu Mingyuan beside her, hoping that he would not go out.
"Just wait, I'll bring you something delicious when I come back."
"Yes, the bird's nest will be ready when we come back. Let your brother cook it for us."
Tao Shuxin said something and then took Xu Mingyuan out the door.
We chatted about random things along the way, mostly about Xiao Yangzhi.
"Hey."
Tao Shuxin called him casually.
"what?"
Xu Mingyuan asked.
"Your sister came to your house when she was eight or nine years old?"
"It seems so. I can't remember. Didn't I tell you before?" Xu Mingyuan said casually.
He didn't have much interaction with this family before, he is still himself, and his life trajectory has not changed much.
"Oh."
Tao Shuxin felt a little relieved. Although Xiao Yangzhi was prettier than last year, if Xu Mingyuan didn't even let his sister go, he would be too unkind...
Yang Zhi, who stayed at home to do her homework, had already thrown her pen aside, and subconsciously rubbed her fingertips, her mind had already flown to the horizon...
"You are so stingy, can't you buy your sister some nice clothes?"
Walking in the mall, Tao Shuxin and Xu Mingyuan were chatting.
"Not bad, they are all branded goods. With my family conditions, do I have to order something custom-made?" Xu Mingyuan said.
"What do you know? I'm talking about underwear." Tao Shuxin rolled her eyes.
"You seem to have a hole in your brain. How can I buy this for her?"
"Tsk, if you dare to buy it, I'll bite you to death." Tao Shuxin snorted.
"Then you still ask."
"Just ask, just ask, just ask..."
Tao Shuxin strolled around with brisk steps.
Tao Shuxin stopped at a watch counter.
"I wanted to buy you this watch, but it wasn't sold separately, so I had to buy the one you were wearing."
Tao Shuxin pulled Xu Mingyuan's wrist and saw that the watch strap was already worn out, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
It seems that he still cares a lot.
She couldn't hide what was on her mind, and she nodded her head happily again.
Xu Mingyuan took a look and saw two couple's quartz watches, youthful and fashionable types, more suitable for young people.
The price is just over 4,000, which is quite reasonable for a mechanical watch.
But forget about the quartz watch, it’s a little-known brand, so it’s a bit of a rip-off to be so expensive.
"Just buy it. Isn't your birthday coming up soon? It's a perfect birthday present for you."
Seeing that Tao Shuxin liked this style very much, Xu Mingyuan asked the salesperson to take it out and try it on.
"You're like that again. My birthday isn't even here yet, so I won't buy it for you!"
Tao Shuxin pouted and pulled Xu Mingyuan away.
Seeing that a customer had come in, the salesperson pulled open the counter and took out the watches, and hurriedly persuaded them: "Beautiful lady, beautiful lady, this pair of watches is of great style, don't miss it if you find the right one. You are handsome and beautiful, so it's just right for each of you to wear one, what a perfect match."
The salesperson was also a smart man. He saw that Xu Mingyuan was a young man who didn't care, so he just stared at Tao Shuxin and tried to persuade her.
"Hmm...Okay, I'll try."
Tao Shuxin was a girl who could not resist persuasion, and she had an interest in the matter, so she took the watch reluctantly. The salesperson helped her put it on and praised her again: "Your skin is so fair, it is just right for the brown-red strap, don't take it off, just wear it."
“Am I white?”
Tao Shuxin looked upset.
If she hadn't seen Xiao Yangzhi, Tao Shuxin would still think she was very fair and tender, but after seeing her, she felt a little conflicted.
She had been exposed to the sun for a long time, from traveling in the summer to military training, and it seemed like she hasn't recovered yet.
"Bai, look around you, is there anyone whiter than you?"
The salesperson flattered him a lot.
Seeing that Tao Shuxin was getting more and more excited, Xu Mingyuan didn't want to delay any longer and said directly: "Buy, buy, buy. Pay now. This can't be considered a birthday present, right?"
"Oh, look... you can give me a discount. I bought it from you last time."
Since Xu Mingyuan said so, Tao Shuxin agreed naturally.
The salesperson didn't want to give a discount, after all, couples were the most profitable customers. But Tao Shuxin had come to buy once before, so she wasn't so easy to fool.
After a long discussion, the salesperson said, "Let's both compromise and go with 4299. It will be a good start to be together forever."
"okay."
Tao Shuxin nodded and finally gave in.
In fact, she knew in her heart that she could still round off the amount, but having a good meaning was also important, so this little money could be considered as buying something that would last a long time.
Xu Mingyuan originally wanted to pay for it all together, but Tao Shuxin insisted that she would pay half of it herself and did not want to give him extra money later. She took out the living expenses that she had saved for a long time from her bag and handed them over along with Xu Mingyuan's card.
Before the salesperson finished writing the order, Tao Shuxin couldn't wait to take off Xu Mingyuan's watch and replaced it with a new one.
"The one I'm wearing was bought by you, and the one you're wearing was bought by me. How can we pay for both together?"
Tao Shuxin snorted softly, pulled Xu Mingyuan's wrists together, compared them happily, and nodded with great satisfaction.
He didn't even look at the road, he was just laughing foolishly.
Xu Mingyuan took the receipt and wanted to tear it up and throw it away, but Tao Shuxin snatched it away.
"How can you throw it?"
"What's the use of this thing? Are you going to keep it and return the money?"
"Go away, I won't refund it. Don't you want to see how much you paid?"
"2149, that should be correct."
Xu Mingyuan glanced at the price on the receipt and said casually.
"Why not? Do you know how much I paid?"
"Didn't you pay half? What's the matter? Did she ask you for more?" Xu Mingyuan asked.
"No, I paid 2150." Tao Shuxin said dissatisfiedly.
"Isn't it just one dollar? Fine, fine, I'll give you fifty cents back."
Xu Mingyuan had no choice but to take out his wallet to see if he had any fifty cents in change.
"Oops! That's not what I meant!"
Tao Shuxin stopped him angrily.
"Then what do you mean?" Xu Mingyuan asked in confusion.
"This means I should be a little bit better to you!" Tao Shuxin said somewhat unhappily.
Tao Shuxin's lips almost curled up to the sky because Xu Mingyuan didn't understand what she meant.
Xu Mingyuan was stunned. What you said was unclear, little girl. How could I understand?
Seeing her pouting little mouth, which looked very cute, Xu Mingyuan couldn't help but kiss her.
“Oh my, there are so many people!”
Tao Shuxin panicked and quickly put away her temper. Seeing that people were looking at her, she wanted to escape from this place of trouble.
But Xu Mingyuan hugged the little girl, rubbed her dark hair, took a deep breath of the fragrance, and exhaled with a smile.
"You've been so good to me, not just a little bit, but a lot."
"It's good that you know, hum..."
Although Tao Shuxin was very tough, her tone softened and her delicate face was filled with smiles.
Seeing that people passing by were looking at this side, Tao Shuxin felt very shy, but she had no intention of pushing him away and let Xu Mingyuan hug her.
